He was using drugs between holes at Augusta National. Contemplating suicide for two decades. Couldn't walk into rehab without help. Today he just beat two of the best golfers alive. One of, if not the greatest sports comeback stories of all time:
Anthony Kim. Father. Husband. Three-time PGA Tour winner before age 25 - alongside only Tiger, Phil, Sergio, and Adam Scott.
Then his Achilles ruptured in 2012. He vanished, for twelve years.
He was battling drug and alcohol addiction daily. Using during majors. Making bathroom stops between holes just to get through the round. Contemplating ending his life for almost two decades while the world thought he was living the dream.
His body eventually shut down. He could barely walk into rehab. His wife Emily and daughter Bella pulled him back.
He got a second chance with LIV Golf in 2024. Finished dead last. Didn't earn a single point in two full seasons. Got relegated from the league in August.
Most people would've quit. He showed up every single day and worked to get 1% better after being cut from the league.
He earned his spot back through a qualifying tournament on pure merit.
Today, in the final round at LIV Adelaide, playing alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm - two of the biggest names in golf - he came back from a 5-shot starting deficit and has just shot nine under to win the golf tournamnet.
This man was ready to leave this earth. Now he just did the unthinkable. If that doesn't prove you can come back from anything, nothing will.
It's never too late.

@IanJamesPoulter@WestwoodLee I can’t blame you for grabbing the bag but you yknew what you signed up for. Money became more important than tradition and you decided to join the carnival that is LIV.
@IanJamesPoulter@WestwoodLee Why should you get any ranking points? You knew the drill when you both joined LIV. It was a cash grab for two players on the backside of their career’s who were struggling to keep their tour cards. You both became irrelevant to the masses after taking your cash grab.
@FantasyDataNFL Took Jerry Rice over Emmitt Smith. Had to wait until the newspaper with all the stats came out on Monday’s to write down scores by hand…
Sorry to leave y’all hanging, had to get the toddler ready for bed. I’m thrilled to report that @ahadwingolf is still among the land of the living and in true Canadian form, apologized to the security guard for being tackled.
You know what the definition of #fakenews is, #maga?
Settling a lawsuit for $787.5 million for lies.
CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS...none of them have had to pay for lying to such a costly amount.
So now ask..why is the network that just settled calling other networks "Fake news"?
#MAGA now do you get it? @FoxNews now has to pay one of the voting machine companies almost $800 million, for lying to you on the air over and over that the election was stolen. Trump lied, Fox News lied, MyPillow guy lied...Face facts, you believed lies and they still lie.
listen up, dipshits: Democrats aren't trying to take away your gas stove. but Republicans ARE trying to take away your Social Security and Medicare, and they have you so fucking gaslighted that you don't know which end is up. turn off Fox News and pay some fucking attention
Preach on Pastor @jamalhbryant! Hopefully the majority of people voting in Georgia are smart enough to see through Puppet Walker and the sludge he represents
